Hi Mike,
 
Here are the details I found in the file for your bass:
 
top and back: Lacewood
core: Maple and Walnut
neck: Maple and Purpleheart, 34 long scale
fingerboad: Ebony with mother of pearl inlays
peghead veneers: Bocate and Zebrawood
originally made for: Vic Zinn Music, Nobelsville, IN
birthday: December 8, 1976
 
Vic Zinn Music was the very first Alembic dealer. The original owner of this bass purchased in 1977 and was in Indiana as well.
 
There are two other registered owners. In 1984 this bass lived in Ohio. It was purchase dfrom a pawn shop for $2000.
 
Later it was registered to another person in NJ.
